Abstract

Kentucky, like other states, faces growing challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified water operators. A recent survey of managers and operators from Kentucky water utilities identified weaknesses in the areas of pay, benefits, training, employee appreciation, COVID, and job satisfaction. The recommendations generated by this survey apply not only to water utilities in Kentucky but possibly to the water industry as a whole.
